Join us for a special conversation with Bruce Payne, founding director of the Hart Leadership Program, and Andrew Nurkin, its current director. Together, they will reflect on Hart’s origins, lasting impact, and the opportunities ahead as the program looks to the future. 

The Duke Sanford Development and Alumni Relations team invites Duke alumni, parents, and friends to celebrate four decades of the Hart Leadership Program. Founded in 1986 through a generous gift from the Milledge A. Hart III Family Endowment, Hart was the first endowed leadership program for undergraduates in the United States.

For 40 years, the Hart Leadership Program has championed the belief that leadership is for everyone; that critical thinking, mindful reflection, and ethical consideration are essential to effective leadership; and that the best way to learn leadership is by doing.  

We look forward to sharing an engaging evening of conversation and celebration with you.
